Sounds like more of the British fondness for gossip about the Royals.
As has been pointed out there is a whole industry devoted to our Royal Family......but that interest isn't limited to the UK, I've seen that obsession equalled by people from outside these islands, paricularly the USA.

He'd be hilarious as king. Comedy gold.
It'd be hilarious wouldn't it and probably lose the Royal Family whatever integrity it has left.
But let's be honest, there's been far worse characters on the British throne.

So the German midget is stepping down to take care of her proud Nazi supporter husband of WWII.
I find it humorous that here in the UK most people who call The Queen German and try to use it in a derogatory manner are some the most woke and politically correct and are supporters of unlimited immigration and even open borders.
Hypocrisy and double standards.
And if we were to apply those some standards to all UK citizens I would supect that the vast majority would be considered a different nationality to British.
Philip is Greek.....and a complete knobhead.

Huh, she felt the need to step down for personal reasons and well-being... she’s gonna get slammed like Harry and Megan

No, the emotions will be working differently.
Part of the issue with Harry and Megan was the public perception that the couple were letting her down.

A few months, compared to dedicating more than a lifetime? Not exactly a fair comparison.

If true, then i am not surprised in the least.
The Queen is 94 years of age. She has served Britain and The Commonwealth for 68 years. Don't you think everyone needs to retire at some point ?

I did say "perceived". I wasn't making judgements in my own right, just explaining objectively how the public reactions are likely to work. You don't need to agree with the perception in order to understand how and why it is lkely to be different in the two cases. It's a matter of understanding the collective psychology.

Think the crown will go to William instead of big ears Charlie dad.
Considering his own extended age.
Whilst technically Prince Charles is presently heir, he may abdicate and pass the throne to his eldest.
